Great sounding recording from Kansas' tour to promote Leftoverture, an album that peaked at #5 on the US Album Charts and went quadruple platinum. The PRRP people did a fine job putting this one together. They not only remastered a Pre-FM source for the Kansas show, they also included a radio interview with Kansas about the show (this was from an alternate source). Also from an alternate source is a recording of the nights opening act Ambrosia.

  2. You're welcome Iowatullfan, glad you are enjoying it! Rosebud has a large collection of Kansas boots that she will be sharing so hopefully we have a couple more that you will like.

  3. Pretty obvious studio version of Wayward Son up until the guitar solo, with crowd noise added in. Was this done to fix a glitch or did they really lipsynch the hard parts of that song for the radio concert? :-)

  4. Didn't notice that ... Westwood One has been known to do that ... it's assumed that it's done when a clean recording of a hit song wasn't made during the show.
